[Hiring] Lead Azure Technical Architect @DMS Vision

Role Description

We are looking for a Lead Architect who is a true hands-on engineer—someone who designs solutions and writes production code daily. You will lead architecture and delivery across a cloud-native platform built on:

• Java + Spring
• .NET 8/10
• Python (Django/Flask microservices)
• SQL
• React
• Node.js + Socket.IO
• Microsoft Azure (ADO/App Service/Container Apps/Functions/Service Bus/Key Vault/Blob/Monitor/App Insights/APIM)

This role requires cross-stack ownership and the ability to guide teams while staying hands-on—coding, reviewing PRs, mentoring offshore engineers, driving PoCs to production, and ensuring security + reliability.

• Lead by coding (daily): Deliver features and fixes in Java/Spring, Python services, and .NET with strong unit/integration test coverage.
• Build & evolve Python microservices: Work across Python 3.12/3.13, Django 5.x and Flask 3.x services, including API design, background processing patterns, and Azure integrations.
• Architect cloud-native services: Build scalable microservices and event-driven workflows on Azure (App Service/Container Apps, Functions).
• Implement async messaging patterns: Use Azure Service Bus (queues/topics/subscriptions), retries, DLQs, idempotency, and resiliency best practices.
• Build real-time capabilities: Develop and scale Node.js + Socket.IO/WebSockets services (secure connections, rooms/namespaces, multi-instance scaling patterns).
• Own secure integrations: Implement enterprise-grade security using Azure Key Vault, Managed Identity (MSI), certificates, and Azure AD/Entra ID auth patterns (OAuth2/OIDC/JWT).
• Drive data reliability: Build and optimize SQL Server schemas, queries, and deployment scripts (safe, idempotent, CI/CD friendly).
• Operational excellence: Instrument services with Application Insights/Azure Monitor + OpenTelemetry, build health checks, and support production incidents and root-cause fixes.
• Mentor and set standards: Run strong PR reviews, enforce engineering standards, and mentor offshore engineers through pairing, reviews, and technical guidance.

Qualifications

• 10+ years in software engineering with recent, demonstrable hands-on delivery
• Must be strong across Java/Spring + React + Python (not just oversight—actual coding)
• Proven success leading teams without stepping away from coding
• A quality-first mindset: testing, security, observability, performance, and reliability

Requirements

• Backend (Java):
  • Java 21 + Spring Boot 3.x (REST APIs, Spring Security, Spring Data, production microservices)
  • API design, middleware, performance mindset; service reliability
  • Strong automated testing: JUnit 5 + Mockito (Java) and modern .NET testing patterns
• Python:
  • 2+ years hands-on Python building production services (within overall 10+ years experience)
  • Framework experience with Django (5.x) and/or Flask (3.x); ability to design and maintain REST APIs
  • Testing culture: pytest (and related patterns like coverage and mocking)
  • Comfort debugging distributed systems and Azure SDK integrations in Python (identity, storage, telemetry)
• Web / UI:
  • React (TypeScript/JavaScript, modern patterns, debugging and performance awareness)
• Real-Time / Integration:
  • Node.js + Express and Socket.IO/EventsHub/WebSockets (real-time messaging, connection security, scalability)
• Data:
  • SQL Server (T SQL, query optimization, transactions, deployment scripts, reliability and performance)
• Azure (Hands-On):
  • Strong hands-on Azure delivery with:
    • App Service/Container Apps
    • Azure Functions
    • Service Bus
    • Blob Storage
    • Key Vault
    • Managed Identity
    • Application Insights
    • Azure Monitor/OpenTelemetry
    • APIM

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Flexible working hours
• Remote work opportunity
• Professional development opportunities
